Hôtel Alcyon: reviews and practical information

About this property

Accommodation category

Hôtel

Catch a sweeping view of the gulf and walk to the citadel from Hôtel Alcyon.

The location

rue du Maréchal Leclerc sits right in the heart of the upper town, just steps from the ramparts of the Genoese citadel. Step outside and you are less than a five-minute walk from the bustling cobblestone shopping streets, while the marina is an easy fifteen-minute stroll away.

You will need a car for the beaches: Palombaggia, Santa Giulia, and Rondinara are all about a 30-minute drive. The tourist office is 50 metres from the front desk, which comes in handy for organizing local excursions or transfers.

Rooms and comfort

The 32 rooms are spread across several categories: standard economy rooms measuring between 14 and 16 m², superior rooms, and deluxe rooms which offer more space. All of them have been renovated in a contemporary style that matches the design aesthetic of the property.

Friendly tip: If a view of the gulf matters to you, mention it when booking or reserve directly on the hotel website, where you can specify your preferences as well as any requests for twin beds.

Food and drink

Breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace with the gulf in the background, easily the high point of your morning. It costs extra, but you get a 15% discount if you book it directly on the hotel website.

The hotel also features a wine bar and restaurant for the evening. Booking direct gets you a 15 € (about $16) credit to use on-site. The restaurants in the upper town are just a few minutes away on foot.

Services and extras

For direct bookings on the official website, expect a 15% discount on breakfast and a 15 € ($16) bar credit.

Who it suits

This hotel fits travelers who want to get around on foot, with a gulf view thrown in for good measure. Less suited for guests looking for spacious rooms or total quiet during peak season.
